The Ice aquarium also known as Kori no Suizokan is located in Kesennuma in northeastern Japan and displays over 450 specimens frozen in ice. Lit in light blue, representing water, the aquarium showcases 80 species of marine life. These species are flash frozen when they are unloaded at the Kesennuma port on the Pacific Ocean.
